Who Wants Breakfast?

I've said this to you guys before, but I really don't care for breakfast. These days I absolutely have to eat something in the morning to avoid feeling sick for the rest of the day. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

The inspiration for these pancakes came from an old high school friend, Jill. She was telling me when she was pregnant with her son, she couldn't stop eating breakfast. Now again, me not being a fan of breakfast, I couldn't even begin to think about what she meant. But since our talk, I have really wanted pancakes!!! Fluffy, buttery, light, and covered with syrup. Is there any other way to eat them? So I pulled out the griddle, grabbed some ingredients, and made myself a very happy girl. You can really thank Jill for this recipe and these pancakes. Without her, I may not have gotten back into the kitchen any time soon. These pancakes couldn't be easier. Try some this weekend, or if you're ambitious, have breakfast for dinner! :-)

What you will need:
- 1 1/2 cups of flour
- 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 cup 1% milk
- 1 egg
- 3 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp granulated sugar (optional)
- a pinch of salt

Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a bowl. The sugar is completely optional if you don't feel like using it. I like my pancakes to be a tad sweet, and it really compliments the copious amounts of syrup I'll add later. ;-) In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and butter. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix. 

Heat your griddle, or if you're like me, your pan, to medium-medium low. Cook each pancake till golden brown and puffy. These will sincerely be some of the best pancakes you'll ever have. Garnish with butter and lots of syrup. Add fresh blueberries or strawberries on top if you have them. Enjoy!

A Much Needed Update

What do Ginger Ale, Saltine crackers, and plain pasta have in common? Well, those are the foods I've been eating for the past 2+ weeks. Thank you for asking. No, I'm not sick, and no, I don't have the flu. I've grown fond of my following here on The Delicious Bite, so I thought I would share some really exciting news with you all. I'm actually pregnant! Yes, you read that correctly. Can you believe it?! I'm so excited!!

The reason I'm telling you all of this is because I know I haven't posted any recipes or blogs in a while. Believe me, I've been trying. I have lost most of my appetite. Nothing is appealing to me! How can this be?! ME!! Losing my appetite!!! It's unheard of. I feel like I have been neglecting all of you because I can't look at most food, smell it, let alone eat it. I'm told this doesn't last very long, so I will be back in action and cooking up a storm in no time. I do have a chocolate lava cake recipe that I am going to share with you tomorrow or the next day. You can check out pictures of the amazing dessert in the photo album on my Facebook food page.

Once again, thank you for being SO patient. I'll continue to post and interact with you via Facebook. We can still have all out foodie chats, so don't worry about that. And please continue to post your pictures and recipes, and don't be afraid to suggest meals and recipes to me when you have them. :-)
